Paint Project

I airbrushed the platinum metallic stripe last night.

Looks great Tim - I've got three tanks to prep and paint in the next little while so I will be following closely. ANY details you can provide would be most welcome indeed!

For example - did you try to pull the dents out of your tank - or did you just fill them and if so, with what?

Dammit - I'm comin' over! ;)

Not that TimG has done anything wrong (he absolutely hasn't), but it's better to put down a coat of epoxy primer, then do body work, then high build epoxy to finish.
 
Looks awesome Tim, love the black stripe.

Thanks Daniel. Looking forward to posting the finished bike pictures soon. I have a new halogen headlight, new grips, a tach block off cap, new rubber mounts for the tank, new fuel lines and new barbed carb boots to install and then I am going to need to find something else to do with my time!
 
How long between base and clear? Most base coats need to be top coated within 24 hours (or less), what's the specs on yours? What product are you using?
7 days per the PD sheet. I was right at the end of the window with stripes and life getting in the way. I color sanded prior to top coat so I am not worried about adhesion. Otherwise I could have sprayed an inter-coat clear to and then striped over that which would have extended the window. My base is Martin Senour PRO Base and I am using the FC720 Ultimate Clear.

I’m looking forward to seeing them!
